Association with the fashion world has evoked a richness of color in the artist’s palette and imbued Nonnie with a sense for texture.  Like rustling swathes of fabric her brush strokes work to create compositions that swirl with grace and energy reflecting her own zest for life.  As a maestro’s magic with a musical score, Nonnie harnesses the energy, passion, and intensity of the individual elements to capture the motion of the moment within her  compositions.  The eye leads the mind in through a parade of the senses whether it be a walk along the seashore in the Hamptons or a show filled with flash lights in New York.
